History:
(Spidey Super Stories#14/5 (fb) - BTS) - Trapper
gained a reputation as a brutal hunter and trick-savvy poacher of wild
animals, particularly rare jungle species, selling them for money. He captured
a unique but ill white elephant in the care of vet Dr. Shanna O'Hara in
Africa.
(Spidey Super Stories#14/5) - Shanna changed into her Jungle Queen costume and was joined by Spider-Man in tracking the hunter, but Spidey became caught in a rope trap. Trapper tried to cage him for sale, but was himself kicked by Shanna into a pit trap. Shanna and Spider-Man then rounded up Trapper and his three henchmen, putting them in a cage for the Game Warden.
(Spidey Super Stories#35/2 (fb)) - Free again,
Trapper continued hunting wild animals for his Jungle Land park, even
training some animals to break and steal. He went on a big heist at a New York shopping mall using many animals.
(Spidey Super Stories#35/2) - Forcing information
from one of Trapper's henchmen, Shanna and Spider-Man found the right
mall. Spidey followed Shanna's plan to dress up like a gorilla and he
infiltrated the animal pack and derailed the robbery, causing Trapper
to fall. Shanna soon had the animals responding to her, so Trapper fled
into a store to get away from the misbehaving gorilla (actually
Spider-Man), but Trapper was caught and tied up by Shanna.
